One fantastic venue, two gorgeous models and 18 photographers got together for a full day of shooting and Photoshop. First we all went to the Wilmington Grand Opera House to shoot. The whole workshop revolved around making extraordinary photos quickly and with only the stuff in your camera bag. This one as well as the rest were lit with just on-camera flash. Add a little due diligence in Photoshop and you’ve separated yourself from the pack!

What a fun time that was! The next workshop is already in the works. It’ll be at least two days with more models, wedding gowns and will be ultra-intense so stay tuned!

And she did this all while living in Florida! I could have shot Sandra and Matt there all day.

I just had a "movie poster" feeling about this one.

Sandra and Matt are having their reception at the ‘gawgeous!’ Hotel DuPont next May and that ought to be a blast!
